S. L. COX, Editor A Ulbushir.
MOWER, LA., JAN. 0, 1896.
Tho Old and tlic New.
After a little more than three years
as editor ami publisher ol the Banks
County Gazette, tnjr connection wiili
the paper ceascH. My association
with the good people of Banks county
l ms Been very pleasant uulaed, and it
u with no little regret that I bid them
adieu. 1 return my sincere thanks to
those who have patronized th# paper
■during i..y management, anil especial
ly to the county officers, who tn their
various dealings with the paper, have
always l>ecn courteous and kind. For
my young friend, Mr. Cox, whom
you all know, I can only ask the most
liberal patronage. Me is energetic,
upright and iutolligent, And with his
experience and practical knowledge
of the business, I think him
fully competent to run a live
county baper—just such ns the good
people of Banks county daserve.
Respectfully,
Hekry Brewster.
Thankiii}’ my prcdaceasor for the
above kind words, it is in place now
for me to say a few words in regard
to the future policy of the paper.
While the paper will be Democratic
and I will have my view:; upon all
questions of public interest, yet it
*ha'l not be ray purpose to abuse
those who think differently from me
oh political or other questions.
It will be my untiring effort to aid
in building any and all sections of
tins country, to encourage enterprises,
and promote the cause of education.
The column* of the Gazette's will
he open for the discussion of such
issues as will tend to enlighten the
public and benefit its readers.
It will be the pleasure of the edi
tor to receive the support of any
who will lend aid in building up tbe
Gazette and making it one ot tho
brightest journals in Georgia. I
will strive with all my might to give
you sueli a sheet us you can well be
proud. I solicit the patronage of
every political party, as Democratic
doctrine ne*r has and can not injure
any one and especially when we will
give yon tlio ccuntv, state, and nat
ional news. Yours truly,
S. L. Cox.

Facts About Last Year.
Last ro r in t his country various
persons gave $12,.37 9-0 to college*;
§5,745,070 to eh: ril.icx; §2,089,150 to
chun-hcu; to mu -uiiis nod art galler
ies, $1,724,500; to libraries 4530,4”.
and to other institution* $6,471,967;
a total of $28,943,54 , wh < ii is nearly j
010,000,000 more than was gn n ti.e :
the year befure.
Against this bright record wc must
contrast a very different chapter of,
statistic*. Last year this country lost
4,250 lives by shipwreck, about 2,000
fewer than were lost in 1814. Our
railways killed 3,600 persons, about
550 mere than were killed, in 189-1.
We lost by fire last year $1h,579,206
about $15,000,600 more than the pre
vious year.
In the world at large 79.401 per
sons lost tneir lives in epidemics, a
falling off of 50 per cent from the year
before. In war 167,986 lives were
lost last year.
Suicides and murders have largely
increased, I.ast year there weie 5,751)
suicide*, and for the past ten years
they have increased at a fearful rate.
In 189-1 we had 10,500 murders, an
increase of 700.
Lynching* show a decrease In
1895 there wera 171 person* lynched
an compared with 194 the ynar pre
vious.
Embezzlements aro nl3o on the <le
crease, the defalcations for last year
amounting to less than half of the to
tal for 1894.
Upon the whole, il is a record of
light and shade. Some of it, is very
black, but their bright spots will tn
courage these who maintain that the
world is growing better.—F.x.
* * -
Looking Backward.
The superstition of the ill luck of
looking backward or returning is a
very ancient one, originating doubt
less from Lot’* wife, who “looked
back from behind hiui” when he was
led by an angel outside the doomed
city of the plain. Li Roberts’ “Orien
tal Illustrations” it is stated to be
“considered exceedingly unfortunate
in Hmdwostan for men or women to
look back when they leave their house
Accordingly, if a man goes out and
loaves something behind him which
his wife knows he will want, she does
not call him to turn or look back, but
takes or sends tt after him, and if
some great emergency obliges him to
look back he will not then proceed c-n
the business he was about to trans
act—Exchange.

| Untold Agonies
Every Limb Ached With Muscin
Rheumatism
A Perfect Cura by Hood’s Sarsa
parilla.
The cause of rheumatism is Ixctio
acid In the blood, which accumulates
lu the joint*, and gives the victim such
dreadful pains and aches. Hood’s Sar
saparilla -aeutralizes the acid, purifle*
the blood and thus cures rheumatism.
“Five years ago I had my first attach
of lumbago or muscular rheumatism.
I was In bed two
? A weeks. X had
l 'v, r' ( good physician
E#a but he did not do
|as me any good. A
1 mended Hood’a
Ajj Sarsaparilla and
£0 1 scat for a bot-
F tie. At that tiros
I ached in every
g 7 limb, especially
8k In my back and
hip. I felt oa
though I had ft
PHill fever and for a
P™*®* few hourß at

Constipation wae not the least of my
troubles. I commenced to take Hoed'a
Sarsaparilla and felt a decided change in
three days. I was ablo to get out of bed
Hood’s Cures

estinndes at 21.0 squaro miris each year,
would be red urea to a minimum, if not

"Two bundled and fifty squ ire miles,
160,01X1 acres, of good soil rendered bar
ren each year from this one cause! At
{-ii an acre—a low estimate for good
farm lands in the more settled parts f
tli? country—tills means a money ion
o! {5,000,000 per annum to tho farmers .
of the United States. If subsoiling will :
stop this ruinous waste, is it. not worth
trying'?
• lint the expense of sube'din;;! Yen,
it 1r an expense, and yet when we con-
Eider in addition to the saving to future
fertility cf this enormous acreage now
rendered barren by erosion, th- vastly
increased cr ps and improved quality of ;
the product—for these things are a mat
t- r uf actuni experience and not a mere
theory—tle small additional -ex-.xinse of
snbsuTiing need .per- enter into our con
sideration. K.si.jes, it is not necessary
to subsoil every year, but only once in
two or in some s iis once in three years.
Wc believe, .. '.vc ’ r. that with the in
vestigation ami experiments that are
mow being put upon this subject the
time is not far distant when an imple
ment will be constructed that will both
plow and subsoil at one and the same
operation.
